because it's a far bigger issue. Minorities have to prove they can draw bigger money because as you said, Hollywood is a bottom line business.
VOD, as soon as it ends up being profitable for studios (and audiences), the Academy will come to grips with it quickly because money is money.

Most everything else VOD is utter disposable garbage.
